| Item | # 0003331464 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Zoila friendii kostini southern form - Small But Solid !!! , Lorenz & Chiapponi, 2007 |
| Size | 63.5 mm |
| Locality | Augusta, WA |
| Note | During our ROV activity we run
across quite a few very dead
shells laying on the bottom.
When shells die at depth, they
are not worn away by wave
action as wave action does not
extend much beyond 120
metres or so. They simply lay
there until they are carried away
by a hermit crab, dissolve back
into sea water or are buried to
become fossils. We retain some
of these, clean them up and
offer them on the auction as we
feel someone will appreciate
them as a scientific specimen. This shell was ROV collected from 140 metres of water south of August , Western Australia in December 2022. A lovely solid shell with intact siphons. Nacre wear to dorsum due to abrasion. Dead collected. |
